When
Your heart is still
Eyes burn
Hands tremble
And breath is shallow
You cry out with no sound
No voice
Shadows close in
Cause your knees gave up
One hero has abandoned you
Another snatched away
Your mistakes crush your rib cage
And the pain is loud
Like twigs on fire
Your limbs
Tears evaporate
And you long for a hug
Only the grave can provide…

Love the ending, it is very powerful.
